Yep, that was a good one.sunsaint wrote:Against us Fev's run down from behind gather the ball and slot one through from 50 out was pretty special.
I only consider myself qualified to nominate from saints games, but Fev, Foley, Dal Santo x2, and Milne are four that deserve to be ahead of Lloyd's 'effort'.

The argument was that he dropped the ball in a tackle.OLB wrote:With Lloyd's goal, I didn't realise drop-kicks had been outlawed.
Deffo not goal of the year but not even a hint of a free kick.
He had two opponents touching him with one hand each, which I wouldn't consider a tackle, but some seem to like twisting it that way.
Yep, hardly a tackle but even if it was a good tackle it's a goal anyway.Otiman wrote:The argument was that he dropped the ball in a tackle.OLB wrote:With Lloyd's goal, I didn't realise drop-kicks had been outlawed.

Drop kicks are still a legitimate way of disposing of a football, as legitimate as a handball or a drop punt so, as unorthodox as it may have been, he still disposed of the footy correctly.
There were a couple of unbelievable checkside efforts from Jackson and Davis that were right up there but I think the checkside is seen as a little bit run-of-the-mill these days.
Pavlich's goal against Essendon here was remarkable, firstly in keeping the ball in play and then somehow finishing.
That bicycle kick attempt from Didak though, had it have been kicked, should have been goal of the year and quite comfortably too.
